Here's a taste of one (of the many) projects our fabrication department was working on all winter.

Guess where we're going to be this week?

We build scaff structures. Scaff + truss is a great way to get custom structures for special events. These photos are a throwback to this past winter when we built structures for the Hallmark Christmas event in Kansas City.

Hi everyone. A little about us: We build stages for concerts and festivals, structures for live and filmed events (like the Boston Marathon), and we work on movies/films. This is a small example of some we've done that we can show.

Our drivers have been sending us images from the road and it's awesome.

Also, if you're based in New England, we're hiring drivers. FT, PT, Overhire. CDL & non-CDL. Must be comfortable driving trucks in major cities like Boston & NYC. (Info on website)

Here we see the elusive truck driver.
As you can make out from the smile & wave, drivers are friendly, yet highly elusive. They prefer their natural habitat - their cabs- where they can avoid things like "the outside world" & "talking to people". But with patience & luck, you may catch a glimpse.

When all eyes point to the stage, make sure it's United.

A light blue ammo can on a stage with some silver truss behind it. ON the can in black spray paint is a "u" logo and the words "United staging & rigging". A stick of truss is horizontal and a few more are vertical behind the can but blurred as the focus is on the can in the foreground.

It's almost that time of year again when you all get to hate us during your morning and evening commutes!
If you pass by/under us when we're building, make sure to beep and give us a proper "Boston wave". 👋 🖕😜

Always listen to the Fire Marshal!

Immed upon finishing setting up this barricade, the fire marshal asked (told) us to move it back 2 ft. Why? Because changes in the seating area meant the venue needed 2 more feet of audience room to comply with fire code.

This is event production life!

This is UNI-KEDER. It's a combo of keder and standard strut channels that lets you combine stage elements in some pretty awesome ways.

More details on our website: unitedstaging.com/rentals/uni-...

#eventpros #stagedesign #eventproduction
A piece of UNI-KEDER getting underhung on an outdoor stage roof that's set about 6 feet high for the moment. Your looking at the end of a UNI-Keder so you can see the round keder channels on each corner and the rectangular strut channels on the top and bottom.Focus blurs as you get further away but you an make out the safety yellow vests of people holding up the uni-keder while a couple other people attach it to the stage roof before the roof gets raised.

We love when our drivers send us photos from the road!

(These are from their trip out to Houston a couple week ago.)

Where do you go when the gig is done? You go stuff your face at La Fisheria in Houston, TX of course!

You guys deserve this. Your meal is on el jefe. 😆

Congrats to our most recent training class students!

We recently hosted training classes: a 3-day rigging seminar led by Bill Sapsis and two Outdoor Structures Engineering classes taught by Jeff Reder (one for the public, one for employees).

Go forth and work safely everyone!

We talk a lot about safety and that's because we mean it. We continuously train our employees because knowledge is the first line of defense when it comes to workplace safety.

So we want to congratulate our team who took Outdoor Structures Engineering with Jeff Reder two weeks ago!
Photo of employees (male and female) in a group after completing a training class on outdoor structures engineering safety. They are in an off white hotel ballroom that is set up with white cloth covered tables and blue chairs. The group is behind the tables, at the front of the class and a tv screen is behind them showing a slide that says "Outdoor Structures" with a couple images of outdoor structures for concerts and live events. Many of the employees have United Staging brand hoodies or gear on (because thats our company). In typical Boston fashion, and Iced Dunkin Donuts coffee is on the table in the foreground.
